The flows are dropping back to normal The West Branch is back to a good level for wading and floating. Today is going to be a lot like yesterday but a little warmer at 88 degrees. Nymphing will be a good bet early in the sunshine. Blind casting Isonychias or cahills should produce some fish in the riffles. Look for places that get early shade if you’re looking for dry fly activity. There are still a lot of different blue wing olives on the water. Sun and humid can bring out the flying ants so definitely have that box with you.
